Zinc salts of some mercapto compounds as antioxidants of high-temperature aging of thermoplastic elastomers
Field of technology
The present invention relates generally to the high temperature aging of dynamically partially or fully crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers. The present invention relates in particular to antioxidants of high-temperature aging of dynamically partially or completely crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers. In particular, the present invention relates to zinc salts of certain mercapto compounds used as antioxidants of high temperature aging of dynamically partially or completely crosslinked thermoplastic elastomers based on polyolefin / ethylene copolymers.
Prior art
Polyolefins and polyolefin composites are typical products that are exposed to elevated temperatures at which their thermo-oxidative degradation is accelerated, called in cases where long periods of use of thermal aging are required or anticipated. Therefore, it is important that polyolefins or polyolefin composites retain their original properties such as elongation at break and tensile strength at elevated temperatures throughout the desired or anticipated period of use. Was found. That antioxidants and their combinations have a retarding and stabilizing effect on the thermal aging of polyolefins and polyolefin composites and therefore their use is widespread. For example, U.S. Patent No. 2,997,456 discloses stabilizing polyolefins against thermal degradation by the addition of metal salts.<sup>1</sup>! mercapto compounds of benzimidazole or its selenides or tellurides.
U.S. Patent Nos. 4,226,661 and 4,824,883 disclose the use of antioxidant systems consisting of a combination of a zinc salt of mercaptobenzimidazole with a sterically protected di-tert. butylphenol in polyolefins and similar polymers such as polyethylene or copolymers of ethylene with other monomers.
Japanese Patent 58-122945 discloses a synergistic combination of antioxidants consisting of phenol, 1,2-dihydroshinoline and an organic zinc salt used for olefins to achieve their improved thermal stability.
Although the mentioned additions of antioxidants increase the heat resistance of polyolefin composites, the achieved stability of the original properties is nevertheless low.

The components were mixed at 121 ° C for about 1 to 3 minutes until the polymer melted and the temperature reached 171<sup>p</sup>0. Six parts of oil were added and stirring was continued for another 30 to 60 seconds, then the remaining 6 parts of oil were added. Stirring was continued for another 45 to 70 seconds and then 0.6 part of tetrakis [methylene (3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrooinnamate)] methane was added. Stirring was continued for another minute until a homogeneous mixture was obtained. The mixture was then filled into the hopper of a single-spindle extruder operating at 200 ° C, and extruded into a water by a circular extruder die, and the obtained string of circular cross-section material was hot-pelleted immediately after leaving the extruder. The obtained pellets were then pneumatically (sucked) transferred to a drying centrifuge and stored.
The pellets thus obtained were loaded into a Haake kneader heated to 182 ° C and kneaded until melting occurred. Then 2.1 parts of zinc salt of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole were added and kneading was continued for about another 2 minutes.
The mixture was then transferred to the bottom plate of a flat mold, covered with the top plate of the mold and pressed at 215 ° C at 10 MPa for 3 minutes. After removal from the hot press, the press plates were transferred to a press operating at normal temperature, cooled at a pressure of 10 MPa for about 15 minutes.<sup>and</sup> after removal, the sample was ready for testing.

Example 6
This example is an illustration of a dynamically fully crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer according to the present invention.
40 parts of crystalline polypropylene Pro-fax 6701 with a melt index of 0.8 dg / min, 60 parts of ethylene-propylene-ethylidene-norbornene terpolymer with an ethylidene norbornene content of 4.4% and a Mooney plasticity of 100 / ml 1 + 4 were mixed in a Haake kneader. 121 DEG C. (and 0.1 part of tetrakis [methylene (3,5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate)] ethane) is likely to be tetrakisethylene (3'5-ditert-butyl-4- hydroxyhydrocinnamate) of methane - note. transl. / at a temperature of 200 ° 0 and 100 rpm. until the polypropylene melted and then for another two minutes. 2 parts of zinc salt of 2-ferrocaptobenzothiazole were added, stirring was continued for another minute and then 3 parts of methylolphenol resin and 0.3 parts of SnGl 2 O 3 H 2 O were added. Stirring was continued for another 3 to 4 minutes until a constant viscosity was reached. Then 4 parts of zinc oxide were added and stirred for about one minute. 5 parts of 10 parts of Sunpar 2280 paraffin oil were added, mixed for 45 to 70 seconds and then? the remaining 5 parts of oil are added.
The mixture was then transferred to the bottom plate of a flat mold, covered with a top plate and pressed at 215 ° C for 3 minutes. at 10 MPa. The press plates were cooled after removal from the press and the sample obtained was used to measure the aging process.
The physical properties are given in Table 3 / Ex. 6 /.
